Muslim immigrants in a town near Copenhagen have forced the cancellation of traditional Christmas displays this year even while spending lavishly on the Islamic Eid celebration marking the end of Ramadan.

The controversy has escalated into an angry nationwide debate over the role of Islam in post-Christian Denmark, where a burgeoning Muslim population is becoming increasingly assertive in imposing its will on a wide range of social and civic issues.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called religious rights.

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to the reasonable Muslim demands for their religious rights, they also get the other components under the table. Heres how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves  along with threats for failure to comply. (United States ).

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris car-burnings) . Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam  Mohammed cartoons).

Of course, thats not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel.  Leon Uris, The Haj

It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

Still, people should be allowed to celebrate whatever festivals they want to, but they also must respect the festivals in the country they have come to."

Behnke added: "There is no point in wanting to convert Denmark into a Muslim country because you yourself have a Muslim background. That must never happen. On the contrary, we must have mutual respect for one another. This is a lack of respect for Danish traditions and culture. We must not have a Denmark where Danish traditions disappear as soon as there is a Muslim majority."

There is only one solution for Europe, and later for us: we must give up the fiction that Islam is a religion, and that it deserves the protections that we routinely give religion. Islam is a totalitarian political system and pretending that it is something else is simply suicidal.

Denmark needs to decide whether it wants to live or die, and if it wants to live, then Islam must be removed from within its borders, physically by the deportation of Muslims, intellectually by systematic exposure of its nasty ideology, and socially by the excising of all its public manifestations.

I’d offer the same prophylaxis to all of Europe, especially France, but one has to start somewhere, and Denmark might be just the place.

I’m thinking that many people, with a cogent, rational, functioning brain, already have. I know I did on 9-11-01; I just hadn’t much attention to it, before that point in time.

The vast majority, though, will have that sane final thought suddenly occur just as their head is beginning to be sawed-off. The point of impending death can sometimes bring great clarity to a cloudy and confusing situation.

(America - a great idea while it lasted.)

We've had since the wake up call of the 1970’s to get energy independent.

Bush II had the full support of the entire country when deciding what to do in response to 9/11/01, but instead chose to embrace what he knew full well was a violent political ideology, instead of the preferred course of action.

The window of opportunity has closed and now this is the future we face.

('We the People' can and will take this country back...starting today.)

Situation one: a non-muslim country in the midst of a bunch of muslim countries. The muslims are always warring and lobbing rockets and terrorizing the lone non-muslim country.

Situation two: a muslim country in the midst of a bunch of non-muslim countries. The non-muslims welcome in and are tolerant of the muslims, multiculturism and all that. Handouts for those newcomers of the religion of peace.

Of course, situation one refers to Israel, and situation two refers to Denmark.

As the EU ccollapses economically the people in the countries will look for someone to point the finger at and we will see ethnic purges on a scale not yet imagined or seen before.

Immigrants who leech on the welfare state and crap out babies and an incompatible idealology to what what traditional european values are will certainly be high on the list on who to blame as well as their PC enablers.

Last time they blamed the hard working decent jewish folks who weren’t all that ddifferent culturally than most eropeans and had congruent values, this time it will be the true “cultural aliens” who will earn there ire and the US won’t be aaround to stop any atrocities by either side...

The other problem that everyone seems to avoid or ignore is underpopulation. Unless people start having children again, and that’s more than 2 per family in order to replace and grow the population, you will eventually die out. Laws of nature and laws of numbers. After 50 years of The Pill and 40 years of abortion, The West is depleting itself of population to be replaced by Third Worlders and muslims. It’s not too late but it almost is, and that’s one way civilizations die out. Period.

It is purely a one-way street so far as the Muslims are concerned. “Democracy” and Islam are polar opposites, but with the use of guile and the Islamic technique of Taqqiyah, the very practice of democracy can be and is used to promote Shari’a law and Islamic hegemony.

Until the frog finally realizes the water is too hot, but can no longer jump out, because his flesh is already cooked.

Those fine old Lutheran churches in Denmark will make remarkable mosques, when the minaret towers are added at all four corners. The stained glass and the carved representations of Christ and the saints will have to be removed as well.

(Bronco Bama - the cowboy who whooped up and widened the stampede.)

We had a Danish/Afghan student living with us last year to learn English. They moved to Denmark from Russia because of the free education and benefits, after having done research on various European countries. The father moved back to Russia because he was more successful in business there. He gave intermittent support. The mom and three kids were supported by the Danish welfare state on a workfare sort of basis where the mom worked in a daycare to qualify for the support.

Our student was really grateful to be a Danish citizen, but said the Danes themselves did not appreciate the gift of education that they were given, and many people her age were only in school because there is a stipend that goes with college attendance, not because they truly wanted an education or had a goal. Her family was very serious about education and she and her sisters worked and went to school.

As to assimilation, she was happy to have Danish and Afghan friends, and liked to go to clubs, and was even known to have a drink once in awhile. She is married now, to another Afghan. She says she is grateful that he did not object her doing these things, but I don’t know whether that is still the case.

I think we have to remember that there are the crazy jihadis and then there are the people who left places like Afghanistan to get away from the crazy jihadis.

(As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.)

I have long ago quit wondering about the decline and fall of Rome. We are reliving it. We could write the history just from watching the suicide of Western Civilization.

The thing is, when we are gone — the entirety of Western Civilization, not just America — the world is going to become a much more harsh, brutal, ugly place. The liberal bed-wetting leaders of the Western nations, and their UN masters and handlers, have done what the Hun could not do. They are committing suicide, handing the land and resources of the West to the gutter of the 3rd world.

Our Father in Heaven, I am on my knees to thank You for letting me be born in the 1950s and to be among the last free American people, and last fee people of the West. I am overwhelmed with gratitude that You did not choose to have me be born 100 years later into a terrible world devoid of freedom and rights for Man.

I am not one of those who thinks we are at the End of Days. I can’t tell you when that will happen. I will observe however, that everything happening to day strikes me as fertile conditions for the Lord God to bring on the end of the world. Life could go on for another million years, but with all that is happening today, I would not be shocked in the least if it turns out the end is near indeed.

I am just very grateful to God that I was not born later and do not have to see the terrible world to come.
